Joseph William Thurston (born September 29, 1979) is an American former professional baseball third baseman and second baseman.
He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, and Florida Marlins in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Thurston graduated from Vallejo High School in Vallejo, California.
He was originally selected in 1997 by the Boston Red Sox in the 45th round (1,332nd overall) of the 1997 MLB draft, but did not sign with them and instead went to Sacramento City College, for which he delivered the game-winning hit to lead the Panthers to the 1999 state championship.
Thurston was drafted again in 1999, this time by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the fourth round (134th overall) of the 1999 MLB draft.
In 2001, Thurston was ranked the 9th-best prospect in the Dodgers' system after posting a .338 OBP for the Double-A Jacksonville Suns, and by, few prospects appeared to have a brighter future than the 22-year-old second baseman.
Playing for the Las Vegas 51s of the AAA Pacific Coast League, Thurston hit .334 with an .878 OPS and 22 stolen bases in 2002, earning him the L.A. Dodgers' Minor League Player of the Year Award and Baseball America's AAA Player of the Year honors.
Thurston made his major-league debut on September 2, for the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting .462 in eight games.

Returning to AAA in 2003, his OPS fell to .746, and it slipped further (to .721) in 2004.
He was again a late-season call-up in and, but he hit just .185 in the two seasons combined.
The expectation that he would be a future star had evaporated.

He played for their Triple-A team, the Columbus Clippers and was granted free agency after the season.
He signed a minor-league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies on January 28, 2006.

Pérez was impressed with Thurston's versatility and thought his style of play would be a good fit with manager Tony La Russa of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Perez recommended Thurston to LaRussa, and on December 16, 2008 he signed a minor league deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.
He made his debut with the Cardinals on April 6, 2009 as a pinch runner.
He also played third base and scored a run.
